They sell clothes for all types of people, home accessories, books, video's and toys. The best things they sell for men are the CK boxer shorts and wrangler jeans. The rest of the clothes they sell are pretty standard and I have officially bought my cheapest work shirt that cost £3. They sell cheap suits that is what I would go in there for which in total costs £50. The sales at matalan have produced great for value buys where you can buy reasonable goods all at around 3-4 pounds

They have clean toilets situated near the entrance (you have to follow a corridor for a while) The fruit and veg is the first department (as in most if not all Morrison stores) well stocked and good range of items. The aisles are wide and again, well stocked. I particularly like the bakery which is always tempting. I do sometimes struggle to find items in this branch of Morrisons despite the size of the store. They have a cafe serving snacks and full meals. It seems less popular than the Eccles branch although this may be because Swinton Precinct is less than 2 minutes away with various cafes and food outlets. This Morrisons is well situated and as the parking is free it is really useful when nipping in to Swinton Shopping centre.

The self-serv should now make it a more pleasant place to visit. The bakery and deli areas are good, plenty of choice but sometimes the deli food looks a little dried upand you can sometimes wait a long time to be served, even if there are no other customers waiting.

This is quite a nice ASDA store, it is a good size and has a nice cafe which has a gluten free menu…read moreand is also a good size. The tills are not very wide, even the wheelchair tills however it is still a good sized store, it isn't the biggest it could be but still it isn't small either. This store is in Swinton town centre, near a run down shopping centre and a Morrisons, it has parking which seems like it is underground, and you always have to go up a lift to get in the store (or escalators) from the car park or city centre, which can be a hassle. This store is an ASDA Superstore, but honestly it isn't that hard to get that title, you just need to be a decent size. The opening hours are quite poor, just between 7am and 10pm, it would be nice if they had some 24 hour openings or at least opened earlier than 11pm on Sunday's, I feel it is nice to go in a supermarket for breakfast and this makes it to difficult to do so, however the cafe might open earlier, which as I'm not a local of Swinton, I don't know however my local Tesco store, what opens at 10am on Sunday's, opens the cafe a little earlier and I suppose it is nice for a supermarket to be open until 5pm, I have been there when the local supermarket has shut, they is no time to drive to another and you need an essential product. They do the typical ASDA Price match here, where you type in the details online and they claim to be 10 percent cheaper, or your money back in a voucher. This seems to be accurate and I love they pricematch to be 10 percent cheaper however this method has its flaws: - You need the internet to do it, which could cause a problem for old people who struggle to use the internet or people who don't have it at all - You have to keep the receipt, wait 3 hours and go online, which will be a hassle to some people Overall, this is a good store although not the best of stores, it is nothing over average in my opinion, with it being above average in some areas and below average in others, so the average rating of 3 seems perfectly made for this Asda.

However this year I had to reconsider as none of my friends were available to take my belongings this year. After comparing local storage unit prices I found GRG Storage and not only were their prices affordable they were also nearby and just five minutes away from my university accommodation. I decided to give them a try and leave my belongings for the summer. I have to say that I was impressed by the quality and affordable prices I was offered. Using my friends to store my stuff is good however now I can take the hassle off their shoulders just simply by using GRG Storage for summer storage solutions. It is an easy and reliable service offered at great competitive prices just minutes away from the University of Salford! I highly recommend this as my proffered storage provider for my fellow students at the University of Salford!

She then admitted that the shelf she had in stock was in the same state, so couldn't offer a swap but said I could take a discount or a refund. As I spent almost a couple hundred pounds on it I opted for the refund. it's now been two weeks and i can't get anyone to reply to an email or my phone calls. terrible customer service - stay away!!
